Hi John

A little to try and help you here. Not sure what you have really so far.

I think your grandfather was as you have John Stewart McArthur and his wife looks to have been Jane Hunter Girvan.

Some family researchers give his parents as Malcolm McArthur and Rachel Stewart. Her parents are given as James Hunter Girvan and Christina McCallum.

An interesting link here with the details on Jane's Girvan family www.geocities.ws/Heartland/4081/girvan.html  This includes:

Jane Hunter Girvan b: 2 Nov 1880 Campbeltown, Argyll, SCT d: 1965 Glasgow, SCT
....................................... +John Stewart McArthur b: Unknown m: 28 Dec 1900 Campbeltown, Argyll, SCT d: Unknown


With the marriage cert date refs above, it should help you to look at the original marriage register image on the official site www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk This will let you confirm the details on both the bride and groom's parents.

This looks to be their 1901 entry:

John Stuart Mcarthur 26 shipwright b. Campbeltown
Jane Girvan Mcarthur 21 b. Campbeltown

Address: Askomel (Askomil?) Walk, Fort Argyll Formstard (this is mess up transcript of the address unfortunately. Again, the original image from SP will help you here), Campbeltown

From other's research and family trees, your father's birth details are given as 5 NOV 1907 • Campbeltown. To expand on possible siblings etc, the 1911 Scottish census would help you further.

Just playing around with the general index, there is this possible entry in Campbeltown:

Jane McArthur 30
Christina McArthur 5
Malcolm McArthur 3

There is a shipping manifest entry for your father travelling to Canada. He arrived on 18 Aug 1928 at Quebec on the 'Letitia'. No further details. Looks like he was sponsored by the Goverment to come over to work.

There are 2 entries on Family Search for a John McArthur b 1874 Campbeltown - neither have a middle name

However - my money is on this one but you need to download the 1900 marriage cert to be sure

Born 25.8.1874 Campbeltown - father Malcolm & mother Rachel Stewart
